Eric and his coworker switched out the old hot and cold shut off valves (from the 1960's) for my washer, replacing them with new valves and extended pipes, that are so much easier to reach and use. They also removed a copper water line, for an automatic ice maker in a fridge that I lost when my neighbourhood flooded. Both guys were easy to talk to, listened to my concerns, and worked quickly, leaving no trace of a mess. Thank you for your excellent service!

Connor Eades was very professional and polite and competent. He repaired the broken water line by replacing it with a flexible braided stainless steel line instead of the previous plastic tubing. Very satisfied with the service.

Alex came in quickly, Heard me out fully and checked my concerns as well as his own from his expertise, then was able to quote us, work with our timeline and return once we had made a decision and got the job done, taking extra care to also ensure that issues wil not re-occur. Throughout all of this he let us know before major decisions and made clear each step of his process. 11/10!
